Overview
Background
I came across this report while doing research for my Bankruptcy Law Class
The original report was published in 2001 by the Department of Justice
These are some of the charts from the report
Click the “Charts” tab to view some of the charts that I updated using new Bankruptcy data
In addition to remaking the original charts, I’ve included some new, interactive charts.

This is a map that I made depicts the same topic, but uses data from 2001-2018

This is an interactive version of the map, created using leaflet in R
This chart also focuses on the same topic, but displays the information much better than the original.
In addition to providing significantly more information to the viewer, the chart is interactive.
